Vic Serf and the Villans - " Rock Y Roll " (Its War Boys, £6 ) 1980

The next classic from Its War Boys! is the hilariously strange, Vic Serf and the Villans cassette only release from 1980 (£6).What happens when you put classic rock'n'roll into a blender, and strain
the pure juice through a tea strainer, and flush the liquid down the
bog, leaving only the crappy cruddy parts of rock N roll:Elvis's pub singer vocals, laughable do-woppy harmonies, sub-moronic
lyrics that are an insult to meaninglessness, twangy guitars, and
skiffle-lite drumming......that'll give you most of the ingredients for
Rock Y Roll, plus a barrell load of unhinged experimentalism.But the most important ingredient is Jim 'Amos' Whelton and his nonband
of squatters, to make this one of the best rock'n'roll parody/study's
this side of the Residents 'Third Reich'n'Roll', or Zappa's 'Ruben and
the Jets'.You can just imagine Vic serf singing these tunes on Vic Reeves' Big Night Out in th 1990's.A sense of humour is required,so if you don't have one then don't listen to it.Track Listing:

Cival Disobedience is good:

“Civil disobedience is not our problem. Our problem is civil obedience. Our problem is that people all over the world have obeyed the dictates of leaders…and millions have been killed because of this obedience…Our problem is that people are obedient allover the world in the face of poverty and starvation and stupidity, and war, and cruelty. Our problem is that people are obedient while the jails are full of petty thieves… (and) the grand thieves are running the country. That’s our problem.”
